The wiki says "You can use rbenv or rvm to install other ruby versions on DreamHost". I guess they just don't care enough to upgrade system-wide, or have some internal issues that hake it harder than expected.

Also, they're your hosting provider, not ISP. Your ISP provides you access to the internet.

Apparently using rvm to upgrade requires sudo access. I'd have to upgrade for that. Also, tks for the hosting provider v. ISP clarification.

More likely it's simply the default because it is still the default in many Linux distros
